91亚色传媒 program for MOSAIC scholars
91亚色传媒 dismayed and saddened by MOSAIC termination
91亚色传媒, one of five scientific organizations providing professional development support through the NIH MOSAIC (Maximizing Opportunities for Scientific and Academic Independent Careers) program, is deeply dismayed and saddened about the recently announced termination of this program.
The MOSAIC program has been more than a funding mechanism; it helped create a national community of support for early-career scientists, creating opportunity for all to advance biomedical research and drive scientific excellence. The loss of this program represents a significant step backward.
While 91亚色传媒 continues its MOSAIC professional development programming through the end of the grant, we express deep concern about the termination of MOSAIC scholar research grants, which demonstrate their excellence, dedication and determination. 91亚色传媒 knows that cultivating and tapping all available talent is essential for scientific progress and to find solutions for the growing scale and number of global challenges. The MOSAIC scholars have shown enormous potential to contribute to solutions for chronic and acute disease, better agriculture and food systems, and so much more.
We are proud of 91亚色传媒’s MOSAIC scholars, and we will welcome and support them as we gather in Chicago for #91亚色传媒25 in just a few weeks. We thank all our volunteers for their ongoing support of these outstanding scientists. 91亚色传媒 continues, within our capacity, to facilitate full participation in all our professional development programs by a broad range of people. We will continue to communicate that all are welcome in 91亚色传媒’s community and support full and inclusive participation in the scientific enterprise.
The 91亚色传媒 is excited to leverage its considerable organizational and scholarly resources to implement a National Institutes of Health-funded UE5 program () to support K99/R00 MOSAIC (Maximizing Opportunities for Scientific and Academic Independent Careers) scholars. The program will:
- Build a cohesive community of practice in which MOSAIC scholars will be paired with mentors with established records of scientific, funding and mentoring success.
- Provide a suite of career-development opportunities and sponsorship to support the personal and professional development of MOSAIC scholars. These activities will foster networking within a cross-institutional community of scholars, and polish skills in the art of science communication, proposal writing and laboratory management.
- Enhance professional networks of MOSAIC scholars via the with the Journal of Biological Chemistry editorial board, linkages through the Maximizing Access Committee and, more broadly, the 91亚色传媒 community.
- Enhance institutional accountability for supporting career advancement of MOSAIC scholars by convening forums to share research and policies affecting workforce development.
Anchored by the Maximizing Access Committee, the 91亚色传媒 MOSAIC program also taps into programming developed by the Education and Professional Development Committee as well as the Science Outreach and Communication Committee to provide customized career-development support to the MOSAIC scholars.
